A robotic waiter (R) returns to the kitchen after delivering food to a customer at the Robot Cafe, the first robotic restaurant in East Africa and the second on the continent, to employ humanoid robots as waiters, in Kileleshwa, Nairobi, Kenya, 29 August 2024. The restaurant has been attracting tech enthusiasts and foodies since it opened two months ago. Baraka Learat, a 25-year-old first-time visitor who was captivated by the mix of technology and human interaction, said: ‘At first I thought it was a joke, but it's real. The robot came up, slowed down and said, 'Welcome’. I wasn't expecting that,’ he says, clearly impressed. ‘It's an exciting experience. I'm definitely coming back. The robots are a glimpse of the future, even if they don't have the human touch yet’. (Photo by Daniel Irungu/EPA)
